Are these Quality Rims?

I understand that they're not "official" AMGs, but are they of a good quality? I'm new to the whole scene and am trying to find some wheels for my '02 E320.

Thanks.

They're not as tough as OEM rim, more chance of bent rim when you hit pot hole or tire blow.

It's all depend on where you live: if road is smooth, it's okey to use this. But for place like NY, I wouldn't recommend it.

AMG doesn't make this style of rims, it's Brabus that does

It's not triple chrome like they said either: it's paint that looks like chrome (I see more and more of that nowaday), if you keep the wheels clean, it looks almost as good as chrome (probably not as shiny), they're supposed to be more durable than chrome, and much much cheaper too. Just not as polish & shine though, but very close to in term of quality & look.

I remember some time ago,E-Klasse recommended that site to me,saying the rims there were of high quality. But ,Zam is right,if you drive thru NY/NJ like I do
,you better buy three sets.....

To be honest, I really like the stock six spokers. I just wish that I could find the same set in 18" instead of 16".
